Monash University FODMAP diet

Experts at Monash University have created a dietary plan and companion app to help alleviate the gastrointestinal symptoms linked to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The Monash University Low FODMAP diet achieves this by limiting foods rich in specific carbohydrates known as FODMAPs.

The app, developed by the Monash research team, offers the following features:

- Overview of the FODMAP diet and its connection to IBS.
- Interactive tutorials that simplify the app and the 3-Step FODMAP diet process.
- A comprehensive Food Guide that categorizes hundreds of foods by FODMAP content using a straightforward 'traffic light system'.
- A list of branded products that have been verified by Monash as low in FODMAPs.
- A selection of over 70 healthy, low FODMAP recipes.
- Tools to create a personalized shopping list and add notes to specific foods.
- A Diary that allows you to track food consumption, IBS symptoms, bowel movements, and stress levels. The Diary also guides you through the FODMAP reintroduction phase.
- Options to switch between metric and imperial units and enable colour blindness support.
